As a keen French horn player, I hope to get involved with many new music ensembles, performances and community initiatives. I can鈥檛 wait to embrace life across the pond!鈥�

Situating spatial data science through a multidisciplinary lens聽

Ella is a spatial data scientist and urban planner interested in tackling the complex challenges associated with urban change, from enhanced hazard exposure to public health crises. In addition to her Bartlett degree, Ella holds an MA in Economics from the University of Cambridge.聽

Since 2021, Ella has contributed to urban development projects across several continents, engaging with diverse topics including containing unsustainable urban sprawl, monitoring street network and land use change, and promoting walkable urban environments. These experiences have reinforced her awareness of the growing data and knowledge gaps surrounding processes of urban change, particularly in the Global South.聽

As a doctoral student in the Seto Lab at Yale University, Ella will develop novel research and methods to support equitable and resilient urban change across global contexts. She is excited to explore the dynamics of urban change, particularly in informal areas, and collaborate with international organisations, governments and communities.
